- Basic white and black t-shirts. It is most important to get ones that are good quality and fit well. They can be worn with anything from jeans, trousers to skirts and leggings and can be tucked in, tied in a knot or worn out. Wear your tees casually or dress them up with a blazer and good accessories.
- Denim shirt. Wear it open as a jacket or buttoned up over jeans with a t-shirt underneath. Wear with shorts in summer or over jeans or a dress in winter. Very versatile.
- Crisp white shirt. Another versatile piece you can wear under a sweater or tuck into jeans, trousers or pleated skirts.
- Leather jacket. A pricey item, but worth investing in one. Keep it classic and then you will never get tired of it. Wear it over anything.
- Blazer. A classic is worn over a t-shirt, it will always make you feel good.
- Black dress. Good for day or night, you can wear one to a meeting or out for dinner out. Dress it down with sandals and sneakers or smarten up with heels or boots. Choose one that fits your body shape.
- Jeans. A pair of classic blue jeans that fits you perfectly, whether they’re skinny, straight, high or mid wasted.
- Casual pair of sneakers. There are so many options to choose from so go for one plain classic pair that goes with everything.
- Black or nude leather heels. A classic leather court shoe will complete any outfit when you are wanting to add sexiness. If you are not into heels, then a pair of flat leather brogues or pumps can do the trick.
- Crossbody handbag. A black or tan cross-body bag will go with anything, day or night.
